Simplifying the Business (StB) is an initiative by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to lower industry costs and improve passenger service. Launched in 2004, the program consists of five projects that the association says will save the airline industry over US$16.8 billion each year.[1].
Current projects include bar coded boarding passes (BCBP), IATA e-freight, IATA e-services, Baggage Improvement Program and the Fast Travel Program.
StB completed its e-ticket project on June 1, 2008. The project converted the industry to 100% e-ticketing in four years [2], saving the industry US$3 billion, according to the association.
Industry involvement
Simplifying the Business is sponsored by the IATA Board of Governors, a group of 30 airline CEOs. The programme is endorsed by the IATA annual general meeting, which represents 93% of the world's scheduled international air traffic, according to the association.
